Decision details

To seek approval to recruit to the role of Chief Executive following the recent notice of intention to resign given by the current post holder and to agree the recruitment process and remuneration package.

The Senior Manager for Human Resources & Organisational Development presented a report to seek approval to recruit to the role of Chief Executive following the recent notice of intention to resign given by the current post holder, and to agree the recruitment package and process.

Following a suggestion by Councillor Richard Jones, it was agreed that the tenth bullet point in the Job Description would be expanded to more clearly reflect that advice and support was provided to elected Members in an apolitical way.  With that amendment, the recommendations were moved and seconded by Councillors Ian Roberts and Mike Peers.  The final wording would be shared with the interview panel.

RESOLVED:

(a)       That the recruitment of a new Chief Executive be agreed;

(b)       That the proposed remuneration package, which is unchanged, be agreed; and

(c)       That the proposed recruitment process and timetable be agreed.
